Sorry but this does not do it. It is too much work. Is there a way with Win XP Pro to set a password on Internet Explorer. There must be some way of put a password on a program.\Thanks for the idea, anyway

The easiest way to control who can access which application is via the Security tab. You can just remove the users from the Security tab except yourself and when the removed users try to launch an application, they won't be able to.

This is the easiest and certainly the cheapest way.

1. Go to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer2. Right-click on IEXPLORE.EXE, go to Properties3. Click on the Security tab4. Highlight the user/users one at a time and click the Remove button5. Once done, click on OK and you're done!

I hope this helps. Most of the applications for password protecting a file are sharewares and you will have to purchase them just for your information.

The last answer would work but first you have to turn off simple file sharing. Open windows explorer. Go to tools, folder options, and click on the view tab. Scroll all the way to the bottom and uncheck "Use simple file sharing." Now when you go to the properties of Iexplore.exe you will get those options.
